Abstract:

There is a need for lightweight alloys which are strong at elevated temperature and
which can be fabricated to sheet, foil or plate for use in aerospace vehicles.  The
new alloys should provide at least a 200F. advantage over present alloys.  In this
proposal the feasibility of a new RS ODS titanium-molybdenum alloy to meet these
requirements will be demonstrated.  The new alloy will have colloidal oxide particles
which are metallophilic, dispersed uniformly throughout its structure, and as a consequence
these dispersed particles will retard grain growth and preserve high temperature
strength.
